I seem to recall this is a known issue for which clever use of variables will produce the desired result. But I would add my weight to the suggestion of a previous mailer that this is  a bug as I will now have to create different cmake implementations for windows and solaris/linux.

Please try cvs cmake, Brad recently went through all the generators and made them use
the same code to compute the target names, and it should fix both of these issues.
